we have committed suicide, but left behind north, the explicitly state that it was the constant intimidation and grueling by buying coffee sauce that late them too. i took the spy, obscene these people up, nor sold a case of double standards. one of germany's most read newspapers build leaps to the defense of a cobra discussion panel whose content was removed by youtube. but previously that same newspaper mercilessly patched our t german ortiz, german news service, as it struggled with a similar issue with you to a u. k. committee report says the government botched its response to the coven pandemic leading to thousands of preventable deaths. but a top official in the cabinet refuses to apologize. came to stop in a politician. i would have filmed, but will know we followed the scientific advice with apology. we followed this on

to the device. we put 2 dna chess, put our tests new feature in a bid to make conversations more healthy by warning users that things could get a bit intense or heated. we put the plan up for debate. they long ago lost control of their product. this is just another laughable way that they're yelling in the breeze for a horse that has long ago left the bar. they can kick you off, they could put up signs, they couldn't throw pumpkins at you. it's their law and they own it, they pay for it. and a new law in california will force big retailers to make gender neutral shopping areas for children. but critics warn the rule will constrain businesses. ah, it's 7 pm here in the russian capital, and you're watching our teams national. i'm your host donald quarter. welcome to

the program. now, a german court has ruled that youtube was wrong to remove content from a cove. it discussion panel after the video hosting service accused it of spreading misinformation. that court decided that you tube had no right to stifle such public debate about the pandemic and related vaccination issues. ortiz correspondent peter oliver explains more about this case as well as similar ones. and how much the media's reaction is varied. door revolves around the youtube discussion program. alice off then tissue. everything's on the table, all is on the table in english. now, a german court has ruled that videos by this channel should not have been removed from youtube. these were videos in which they challenged at the german government's handling of the cove at 19 pandemic. now, this show takes the form of, of a panel discussion program in which artists and actors as well as academics and scientists ask difficult questions about covey. 19 about the government's handling

of it and about all of the different scenarios surrounding the pandemic. now what we've had seen is the german tabloid build. well leap to support of alice out. then tish, accusing the you tube platform of censorship. will now talk about sensors. so by you choo, yet with thing and overly narrow opinion, chord line through spec, for certain topics during the pandemic were found elders, opinion, car, not mainstream. when i pad, don't dare camino come with li here lies opinions, museum. finds you a call of randomness exact dream. with the rule, we now see how something is selectively targeted, dangerous, our thoughts on the freedom of discussion that took place. and the judge rightly decided again as you to apprehend it in a big question with her that utilizes the truth either the 3rd, what is right or wrong, as or from a medical standpoint? well billed, presented a very different message. last month, when arte deutsch,

arte internationals, german language sis, the channel, had its youtube channel, permanently removed. for what was claimed, it was the, the publishing of covered disinformation. now, artie deutsch at the time said, and they maintain that what they were doing was giving air to different opinions and asking those similar difficult questions about the coven 19 pandemic. and about the german rylin's handling of it. basically, both sets of videos were removed from youtube for the same reason. both archie deutsch, his videos being removed, prompted a very different reaction from germany's most red tabloid newspaper. as a reason for the measure youtube site, severe breaches of the platforms guidelines more precisely, artie deutsch had received a warning from the platform because the broadcaster was purposefully spreading disinformation about the corona virus pandemic. with this removal, putin's power structure loses a central brick in its disinformation campaign. whatever way you slice it, this is

a pretty big hypocrisy from billed. but what's really interesting is, what will happen next since the court has ruled that alice off, den tish is videos, shouldn't have been removed. will youtube put them back on their platform? and if they do thought, what does that mean for the future of artie deutsch on youtube? meanwhile, in the u. s. popular social media network, twitter thinks it's got an answer for when conversations get routing and in its opinion, offensive the platforms trying out a new feature that warns users entering an online chat that things could get quite heated. although some of the content flagged in the trial run has left users a bit, can flee a bit confused. oh, woe there are intense conversation about the weather, bro. seriously, this is the last one yet. to return. what's intense about this conversation?

can believe this is happening on it on the intense conversations did to it's a i'm a generation x sir, is going to take more than an intense conversation to bother me. so how does it work? if twitter spots a chat thread with opposing views being thrashed out and someone wants to join in a message pops up saying heads up, conversations like this can be intense. it's still not clear though, whether or not twitter scanning for content is subject matter or the actual content of a conversation. my colleague collin bray discussed the issue with a panel of experts. this sound like a noble idea that is doomed to fail because if it's moderated by humans, it's open to claims of subjectivity. if it's algorithms, what we'll now how they can't really understand the nuances of language and discussion kind of work. no, no is the very simple answer there and twitter itself has no idea how to moderate it and winds up getting the vast brunt of some of the most insane arguments that

bubble up on that site. so they long ago lost control of their product. this is just another laughable way that they're yelling into the breeze for a horse that has long ago left the bard. this is no goose mistake. twitter is not fumbling the ball. they're not somehow incapable of managing their audience. it is going exactly as plan. imagine the idea when you watch television anywhere the world and you get a disclaimer, the following contains lipstick. children be advised, do you want to watch it? yes, you do. the 2nd, they put up a warning saying whatever you do, don't touch that, dia, whatever you do, don't push the red button. i'm going to be the 1st in line along with millions of others to push the red button. this is the perfect brand new bait. hook in the cheek off we go. is there a danger that there are certain people, certain company, certain subjects that can a full file be judged before any auto budgies even taking place?

absolutely, they miss is already algorithmically put to the top of the queue. it's already algorithmically fed to everybody because there is at the base level, no difference between intense content and profitable content. the content that people want to engage with that stay on the site longer, and therefore give twitter more opportunity to serve ads in between everything else . it would be intellectually honest for us to remember that it is a free platform like facebook, a free platform. they make all the money you get to play on their front yard. they on the lawn, they can kick you off, they can put up signs, they can throw pumpkins at you, it's their law, they own it, they pay for it. we just go crazy on it. so pretending like a phone call where you have an implied a privacy inter action is folly. the fact is we're guests

there at somebody else's dinner table and they keep throwing hand grenades and the soup a know that the more engaged when you get the more rancor and the more engage when you get the more ads. but also you get more of a discourse on why there shouldn't be rancor. so twitter is, is to me the most incompetent of, of the people doing it because they are the most scared of their audience. but then again, if i worked at twitter, i'd probably be the most scared of my audience duke. when the free speech advocates like this, let's face it, they can be the noisy or end of the digital conversation county because no one's getting bad. no one's getting thrown off the conversation is still allowed to happen. that's a good thing, isn't it? well, in my opinion, it is what's offensive to you is not offensive to me. and who's to say what is offensive. so that's why it's again, again, it's private property. so we do have these issues and problems. think of the beauty though. if you're a politician,

you can do horrible things. you can stand up and say, i'm going to defend little timmy was not even born yet. for something that may offend it, and i'm squelch conversation to put up warning flags and all that. meanwhile, what they physically do, or legislative lead do or to a policy is truly offensive. and there's no warning for that. it just happens and then we'll get caught. and another social network, facebook is also feeling pressure after idea swirl in congress to hold the platform liable for content posted there. we unpack some of that information for you. enjoy freedom of speech on social media. well, it sounds like it's about to change the face, but was a bla has a plan on how to fix the evil and harmful system. a plan may destroy the internet as we know it, and she presents it from the senate. i strongly encourage reforming section to 30, what a section to 30, and why is it so important to provide immunity from liability to website platforms?

for instance, it doesn't allow anybody to serve facebook for any content created bytes uses. mock, zuckerberg himself is far from a moral beacon. placement was widely criticized for an antique and safety bias in recent years. facebook had purposely and routinely suppressed conservative story disadvantaging. conservative content century conservative bloggers blocking and centering religious and conservative political content for the platform was never moderated from the outside. many guys on capitol hill that comp setting. the new a superstar whistleblower has found a perfect solution. user generated content is something that companies have less control over their a 100 percent control over their algorithms. algorithms i, i based mechanisms which determine how your facebook feed looks. what post you see 1st thing in the morning, a picture of your friends, newborn baby, a viral cap video or an offensive political mean. right now the algorithms are

controlled by facebook and the operating principles of far from transparent. the company has long drawn criticism for not sharing many details on how the content is prioritized. these technological systems are walled off era, very complicated. they have put their astronomical prophets, or people, money driven decision making, shaping your faith. so one fac, how about political sense? it algorithm is controlled by the u. s. government much better. what a great way to spread american values. both the majority party to the 1st quarters of the us, people is in bob way, can't wait to appreciate it. with the proposed governmental body directly in charge of facebook algorithms, there would be no constraints. facebook seems to be eager to cooperate with the authorities. instead of expecting the industry to make societal decisions that belong to legislators, it is time for congress to act. the current algorithms are definitely far from

perfect, but i bet will miss them. what's the gilman guessing charge? imagine what a u. s. since it's social media would look like videos of a messy afghanistan withdrawal. definitely not interesting. and to graphic. don't show it to anybody. person biden's stumbles on the steps. no, no, no. that's just offensive. and digest your friends graduation bridges. ok. but as i have a look at the agenda neutral actor as a new way to sit to read a movie. i am your fabulous god mobile. no more inconvenient means and by didn't old man drugs can be county pre approved by the us government. well, if that's what happens to social media, maybe we'll finally start living in the real world. top official in the you case cabinet is refusing to apologize after a parliament committee reported that the government gravely mishandled the coven pandemic,

to the extent that thousands of deaths could have been prevented. now we go live to our correspondence. shoddy, edward dashti and london high shatka. now can you tell us more about these accusations? well, as an incredibly traumatic and triggering day for many, for instance, my best friend to lost her mother during the pandemic to covert. and she's incredibly furious at the government for its handling of the pandemic. but she certainly a not to learn. there's thousands of bereaved families up and down the country who are finding this report, a very difficult read indeed. so it's cold corona, virus lessons learned to date and it finds that number 10, delaying the lockdown back in march of the 23rd in 20. 20 was one of the most important public failures in the history of the united kingdom was still, the government's handling of the pandemic actually led to 20000 unnecessary deaths . but a competent minister unfortunately,

was unable to refuse or even try and apologize for those claims. came to scotland polish, he thought i would have thought, what we'll know. we followed the scientific advice which psychology we followed the scientific or vice. we protected the natures. we took the decisions based on the evidence reformers. but of course we've always heard we've something so unprecedented as to come down break the will be lessons to learn. so it's still a very gracious look there from stephen barkley, a cabinet office minister, who actually in that very into the refuse to apologize some 11 times. but looking deeper into this reporting question, it's quite hefty. it's a 150 pages long and almost a year ago to date was when it was 1st establish. and when this inquiry really began, now they looked at many key areas, including the preparedness, a for a pandemic, social distancing as social care and the impact on certain communities. plus,

of course, the vaccines as well. now a whole barrage of a criticisms really came out in this report noting very quite big concerns including access to p. p as the governments much held track and trade system, which fundamentally was flawed. also suggesting at the start of the pandemic, boris johnson says that the care homes would not be affected. now, we know, in hindsight, they were actually the, was affected. plus, of course, numerous criticisms about the travel concerns. whether or not boris johnson should have shut the borders at much sooner than he actually did. but the key of finding really dates back to some 20 months ago that keith date of march the 23rd when the united kingdom ended its 1st lockdown. while this report says, scientists were talking some 2 months prior to that about how ready at the u. k. was in terms of dealing with a pandemic of this scale and actually argue the government acted far too slow.

it is now clear that this was the wrong policy and that it led to a higher initial death told them would have resulted from a more emphatic early policy in appendix, spreading rapidly and exponentially every weeks can well. forest johnson, the prime minister and his government have always maintained throughout this pandemic. the policy is guided by the data on the science and always maintains that it just simply put policy into place by the evidence that was presented to it. it also says it's sticking by its promise of allowing a public inquiry into the pandemic. i'm the government's handling of it as well, but that won't come until at least and next spring. just to say that this a very report, its aim is not to point the thing, this of blame, that is a quote within this report. but some already say there is only one direction of blame to point that finger and that is squarely at the government. shoddy,

a thanks a lot for that breakdown of the story. now, earlier i spoke with alice tustin, he's the founder of the coven victim campaign group names, not numbers. and he says that the british government is to blame for such a large number of corona virus victims. i've been assigned to the last. 1 couple of years with my group members that the government has done an absolutely terrible job . and this is what happens when you have leaders in charge in a, a nurse, a society don't know what they're doing and they didn't follow the science. they didn't listen to the experts and they didn't listen to other countries. that was a disgrace. they didn't listen and also they didn't think about the lights. they for about the money they for about the business contracts and they didn't close. the board is simply just letting our people die, a 100000 people today. however, the government want to go around, you know, treat incontinence in the future. i think this is a big society wake up. we've got stop letting these born to rule.

as a private school, people run things, they don't understand. why is it that we allow prime minister? we've absolutely no common sense to run a serious pandemic. so i lost my grandfather and his best friend of it is when the next day. so my family have had our fash have changed from it, but this, this isn't a personal and you know, some kind of emotional trauma. i think someone like forest johnson prime example of what is wrong in british politics and has been really a bridge on the 6 the last 200 years. and i just feel if nobody stands up to point out that this is dennis side. it's just something that someone has to stand up and say, because like i say, and i and i call it to so many people will just take it on the chin. not i think that taking on the chin is not something that this, you know, unprecedented situation. does you're watching

r t international more news coming your way after a short break? ah ah ah ah goodbye dreamer shaped banker, some of those with

dares sinks. we dare to ask oh, well come back. now if your child's looking to pick out a new barbie doll and a california toy store, you'll probably find it next to a g. i. joe action figure that says california's becoming the 1st us state to force retailers to present toys and other children's project products in a gender neutral way. the new law pushed by democrats doesn't completely forbid stores from having individual sections for boys and girls, as long as they have

a gender neutral area. it also affects only the state's largest retailers. those with more than 500 employees. archie contributor laura lauren chen says the law will apparently, while it's apparently well intentioned, is too constraining on businesses. i'm actually pretty open minded in the fact that i think if you're a little girl wants to play with the boys toys or use a bluetooth brush by all means you should let her. and likewise, it's not the end of the world. if your little boy wants a barbie doll, ok, there are just ways that children express themselves sometimes that don't necessarily mean anything deeper than i want this specific toy. and i think a lot of parents on both sides of the political spectrum can kind of drive themselves crazy. trying to needlessly psycho analyze every little decision their young child makes. oh, my little girl, played with a trained, is that mean? she's trends or a lesbian is like, you know what? it's a toy layer could play with whatever they want to play with. and i know some popular

say, nowadays, but by and large gender stereotypes exist for a reason. and you know, little girls. there is a reason why they are more likely to want to play with make up and dolls is dresses and easy bake oven stuff than little boys. and all this california law does really is make stories needlessly designate gender neutral sections when it's like a right for 95 percent of their customers. you're going to know what the little girls want to shop. you're going to know what the little boys want to look at. there's nothing a neatly wrong with having a gender neutral toy area if that's really what stores want to do. but like why, why mandate it? why has it gotten to this? if you're in california and you run a business, not only do you have to give an obscene amount of your money away in taxes, but the government is also telling you how to run your business, who you can hire, how much diversity you need to have. what things you can sell, how you can sell them, and what we need to understand here is that control is kind of a spectrum. no, california may not technically own your business if you choose to operate in

california, but it is going to be taking large amounts of your revenue of your profit. and it is going to be giving you a lot of rules and regulations over how you can operate your business. a debate over confessional, secrecy is raging and francis, the countries top bishop says it prevents the church from disclosing confessions of child sex abuse. that's after a report revealed that since the 1950s, more than 300000 children, have been sexually abused by the french catholic clergymen and other individuals associated with the church. the bishop was summoned to discuss the issue as the government says, the country's law must take precedence over the church or did law, or does she know law superior to law of the republic of it? and the question of the secrecy of confession is amended by the survey report. it is a professional secrecy, and it has exceptions such as crimes against children under 15, it was denied. this is eric noble for hooping some inspired french government. after suggesting that priests shouldn't go to the police after they've heard

a confession where somebody says that they have sexually abused a child, he made these remarks in the aftermath of that explosive report that was released by the saw of a commission last week. that report found that at least $330000.00 children had been abused over a period of 70 years. and that 2 thirds of the victims were those who had been victimized by the priests themselves in the church. that 80 percent of the cases were boys aged between 10 and 13 years old and that not only did the church do anything to prevent what was happening, but it also failed to report it. that's not only anger the french government, but it angered people here in paris that much collectively believed that they should sister magically denounce it. they are responsible for they press yet, so they mustn't train them. he is in the day in contact with upon it. so they have

to check that everything is going well. the needs of face up to the responsibility and take responsibility is just crazy. may i'd? yeah, i don't. i don't know how it continues to carry out. already don't mazama did on less worth thinking? this a bassetti, it took me away from the face today i no longer want time to church because of that . they will screw the ability, they lose their divine message. it's an acceptable today isn't acceptable with all of us. we now know it's impossible. now this thinks he a really documented, so ag, thou know, to continue to hide behind the little village in europe. now while senior members of the catholic church in france and the vatican themselves, the pope have expressed shame about the contents that were revealed by the silver commission for many. this is just another one. too many reports showing the abuse it's been taking place in the catholic church for decades,

potentially even centuries. and for one victim here in france who spoken to us at r t. he says that what eric do not before has said it shows that there's a serious problem. within the french catholic church, contrib bolcko's hillary led him also. i think that this is the demonstration. once again, the incomprehension layout touch dimension of these men of the church, they have cut themselves off from society and the realities of life. and this has led them to be out of control is and when one is capable of committing so many crimes when one is capable of carrying out such a work of death than its concealment, it does indeed leave an aroma of crime against humanity which raises questions which raises serious questions came, what is clear is that the saw of a commission support is exclusive as it was, was perhaps meant to be the road for a reparations for the church to repairing its image after letting people know about

these crimes. in reality, what it seems to be doing is undoing the church completely. i sir, watching our to international. my colleague collin bray will be taking over in just about 30 minutes, so stay tuned for him. ah, [000:00:00;00] with what do i see your brother now, but let us stay at the court. gotta keep the yard and then when you wanted to see what's the with glove with upgrading? if, if you were to switch him with the talking bob owen's particular identity

protection is that i wasn't born bridget. what i should like say it the what else is the most basic or great you ah, what do i see them? well, you know, difficult, but i think in many of the national look on national study near the back and puzzles cathedral is always the center of attention. but of course it's seen in a special way by artists. it never looks the same with ever changing lighting and many different angles. so it offers endless creative opportunities. but it's not just the artist to a drawn to the cathedral,
